    Wrap Completed I've finally finished the wrapping of the car, and started reassembly. Took her out to take a few photos. There are still some details left to do. I still need to install the Bullitt badge on the trunk and reinstall the Bullitt gas cap. The interior still needs reassembly as...

    Had to pull her out of the garage for a progress check in the daylight. She looks really good. Not perfect (i have a few little dust spots underneath), but she looks way better than she did when I first got her. These shots show off the S197 color matched mirrors and the shaved fender...

    Wrapping I had some time off from work during the holidays, so while battling a cold I also was able to make some good progress on wrapping the Bullitt. The color I chose is Orafol Gloss Fir Tree Green metallic. This was the closest that I could find to the Dark Highland Green. It is a little...

    10-14 S197 Mirrors Another subtle OEM+ mod is with the side mirrors. The New Edge mirrors are kinda meh with their black housing, and I didn't want to pay the $600+ for Terminator/40th Ann. side mirrors with their ability to fold and the body colored mirror caps. I saw a post on FB in one of...

    New Fender And De-Badging The left front fender had been in a previous accident, and was banged out pretty good by my dad to fix it, but it had never been fully repainted. I wanted to have a clean OEM fender with no dents, so I went to the junkyard and found a decent fender. After a good...

    Time for another 6 month update on the Bullitt work. Vinyl Wrap vs. Paint Job Now that I've started some of the body mods, I was mulling over whether to do a full paint job on it or do a vinyl wrap on it. I have wrapped my Magnum in the past, and have done several stripes over many of my...

    Custom BULLITT CONCEPT Rear Bumper - Part 2 Filling & Smoothing The bulk of the filling and contouring was done with SEM Plastic Repair. It took a few passes with this step to really get the contours right, especially at the bottom. The stock Bullitt bumper has slightly more curve to it at...

    Custom BULLITT CONCEPT Rear Bumper - Part 1 I know it's been a while for updates, but I have been slowly working on a project that I had been contemplating for a while. When I saw photos of the Bullitt Concept car (that previewed the 2001 Bullitt), I noticed that the rear bumper also previewed...

    SVE FR500 Steering Wheel I've had this sitting around in the garage for about a year, and finally decided to get around to installing it. It's the SVE FR500 Steering wheel from LMR. The old wheel held up surprisingly well. Based on what I've seen of some Mustang wheels in the junkyards...

    Sound System Updates Well, I got an little unexpected bonus at work for completion of a project. I decided to splurge and throw a few upgrades in the sound department. From the factory, it has the non-Mach 460 AM/FM/CD/Cassette head unit. The door speakers had been replaced at some point...

    Honestly, I do not know for sure if it would be compatible. I'm guessing not, since most places that sell cats for the Stang show a difference between the 96-98 4V and the 99-04 2V/4V engines. Are you in California or a state that requires California emissions? If you are in CA, you'll need...

    Wheels & Tires The wheels on the GT were AFS 18x9" Mach 1 replica wheels. They are no longer being produced. They are in need of refinishing, which I will do as a side project later. The tires on the GT are OLD!!! Like 2008 date code old. I wasn't comfortable driving the car on such old...

    Bullitt Side Scoop Delete Another part that I put on the GT when I owned it was a set of Bullitt side scoop delete panels. When I bought back the Bullitt, the one on the right was missing. I popped these off of the GT, and replaced them with GT side scoops in Mineral Gray (from the same GT...
